Product Details

DFC designed this brake kit for OE-style fit, durability, and consistent stopping performance. The GEOSPEC rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for modern vehicle braking demands and are prepared to reduce initial break-in time. Part number 4512-53014 is a practical choice for drivers servicing a Chevrolet Cobalt front brake kit, a Saturn Ion front brake kit, or a Pontiac G5 front brake kit.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes

Confirm front axle application and verify caliper, wheel, and rotor configuration before ordering. Clean the hub face, inspect calipers and slides, and replace worn mounting hardware during service. The coated rotors are ready to install dry, and the coating is removed naturally by the brake pads during normal use.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected after machining and include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims to support stable friction and quieter operation.
